However, contrasting the pessimistic viewpoint of Flames and Dangling Wire

the visual text What lies beyond celebrates technological progress, bringing us
to realise that Globalisation leads us to a heightened understanding of human
society and our world. While our attention instantly is focussed on the salient
view outside the keyhole, the vectors of the arrows lead us to the graphs and
diagrams that frame the view, bringing us to realise that our perceptions of
humanity in this globalised world are shaped by statistics and meticulous
observations of societal and economic trends. This idea is further fortified by the
persona in front of the keyhole, whose formal attire alludes to the increasing
consumerism and commercialism of society. Furthermore, the ability of
technological and economic progress to lead us to a heightened understanding
of society is evident in the high angle perspective of the view outside the
keyhole, giving the viewer the sense of power associated with a greater access
to knowledge and understanding. Thus, the vectors of the keyholes shadow,
directing our gaze from the diagrams to the view outside the keyhole ultimately
lead us to discover the potential for technological and economic progress to
bring us to renewed perceptions on humanity and the world.
